Use a shared evaluation workspace safely
Explore a trial, sandbox, or shared evaluation workspace without disrupting data, access, configuration, or billing.
Outcome: Explore the product and create approved test records without disrupting a shared workspace.
For: Anyone using a shared trial, sandbox, or evaluation workspace
Permission: Use the exact action resource permission required by the task you choose
Time: 5 minutes
Changes made: None unless you choose a write action
If you're stuck
- Stop before a second write action; repeated changes make recovery harder.
- Record the current page URL, record ID, action, timestamp, and time zone.
- Use only the verified undo instructions in the matching task guide.
Before you start
- Confirm that you are in the intended company workspace.
- Ask the workspace owner to approve sanitized test information before use.
- Give temporary records a clear prefix your team recognizes, such as
Test. - Keep a list of anything you create so it can be reviewed and removed safely.
Action-safety guide
| Action type | Examples | Safe default |
|---|---|---|
| View-only | Search, filter, open a record, change graph depth | Continue; confirm no save or confirmation appears |
| Shared data change | Create, edit, attach, detach, publish, or delete | Obtain workspace-owner approval and follow the task guide |
| Access change | Invite a user, assign a Role, change Permissions | Verify another administrator remains active |
| Integration or bulk action | Add a connection, start collection, upload a file | Use sanitized input and understand the rollback before submitting |
| Billing action | Change plan, payment method, or subscription state | Obtain billing-owner approval; never perform it for documentation capture |
Safe read-only actions
- Search, filter, sort, and paginate tables.
- Switch among available inventory views.
- Open assets, Elements, Collections, Structures, Asset Types, and catalog entries.
- Explore a Relationship Graph and change its visual filters or depth.
- Review company, role, usage, and subscription information already visible to you.
Expected result: Your exploration does not create a save confirmation, unsaved-change bar, invitation, import job, or billing action.
Ask before making these changes
- Create, edit, attach, detach, publish, hide, restore, or delete a shared record
- Add, test, refresh, disable, or remove an integration
- Run a bulk import
- Invite a member or change a role
- Change company settings
- Change a plan, payment method, or subscription state
Never enter production credentials, passwords, tokens, private keys, real customer data, unnecessary personal information, or payment details.
Recover from an accidental change
- Stop before making another change.
- Record the page URL, record name or ID, action, timestamp, and time zone.
- Use a verified undo or detach action once when the result is clear.
- Do not delete other records to hide the change.
- Contact Support if the impact is uncertain.
